Berry, Honiton

The lacemaker has been identified as MRS ADELAIDE SALTER OF HONITON. 

The postcard of the Honiton Lace shop in the "English Lace Schools, Manufacturers & Sellers" category is marked "Berry Photographer Honiton Copyright". The one shown here is unmarked, however due to the similarity in the lettering at the bottom of the card, I'm guessing it is also Berry. They both depict Honiton subjects, and the photography has a similar feel. That's just a guess, though. Note the information on the back of the first one, giving details about the lady depicted. 1930 is not a bad date for these cards, and it is consistent with the dresses the women in the Shoppe are wearing.
